\"\"<\/a>Forecast for the Week of October 11 to October 17<\/p>\n

Sometimes we forgot that as well as the planet of communication, Mercury is also the planet of tricksters and thieves.<\/p>\n

Mercury started out his life of crime at a young age, being but two days old in some accounts, before he stole big brother Apollo\u2019s sacred herd of cattle. To hide the evidence of his larceny he pulled off the hooves of each of the cattle and put them on backward, so when he drove the herd off they looked like they were walking in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

Apollo, being the god of prophecy, wasn\u2019t fooled for long, and he snatched the precocious babe from the crib where he found him peacefully sleeping. Then he hauled him off to Mount Olympus to face the judgment of their dad, Jupiter (Zeus) the king of the gods. Mercury, true to the zodiac sign he rules, tried to do a happy \u201caw shucks\u201d dance, denying everything.<\/p>\n

Here is the atmosphere that greets us this week. Mercury may have slipped into the sign of the peacemaker, Libra, but he is stressed by a challenge from powerful Pluto. Secret investigations, verbal power struggles, and people just plain into your business are part of the distressing trend this week. Parcel this with the Saturn, Uranus opposition with the planet of money, Venus, and you have people who want your money too! Could it be the people in charge broker sweetheart deals that leave the general public out in the cold? How much money does special interests want from us this time?<\/p>\n

Faced with the wrath, of two powerful gods, Mercury was forced to admit to his juvenile crime. Zeus, amused at his latest progeny\u2019s antics couldn\u2019t bring himself to punish the child. To kiss and make up with his brother, Mercury gave Apollo the lyre, which he had invented on the day he was born, and in return, Apollo gave him a golden staff to properly guide the herd. With the lyre, Apollo enhanced his street cred as the patron of music , while as reward for his thievery, Mercury got to herd a whole lot of bull. Sounds about right, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Aries<\/strong>\u2014No one is going for it, Aries, so shuffle on to Buffalo. You might as well because other people are intent on finding out what you are \u201creally up to\u201d and can\u2019t be convinced of your innocence.<\/p>\n

Taurus<\/strong>\u2014Cross your I\u2019s and dot your t\u2019s. Your business associates expect no less and in fact demand more.<\/p>\n

Gemini<\/strong>\u2014It\u2019s a slippery slope you climb as you do your verbal fencing. While you may make points on the elements, people want to see some substance to that flash.<\/p>\n

Cancer<\/strong>\u2014At the beginning of the week you are at sixes and eights with finances. Those nasty in-laws doesn\u2019t make things better. Your own recourse is baking, which this week you are very good at.
\nLeo-It this the time? Should you make that big move to make your dreams come true? Hah! What this is a test of your powers discernment. Learn to see the forest for the trees before you decide to take a hike.<\/p>\n

Virgo<\/strong>\u2014Normally careful you can seem to be especially accident prone this week. The problem, dear Virgo, isn\u2019t you, but other people who seem not notice that you are there.
\nNormally quiet, this week you really should make some noise to let other people know you are about.<\/p>\n

Libra<\/strong>\u2014Social Libra is so busy gadding about that you are making some problems for yourself at home. Call home to let people know you are thinking about them.<\/p>\n

Scorpio<\/strong>\u2014You take on new challenges with original methods and tons of energy. Though much doesn\u2019t seem to be happening, just keep banking your street cred, which you can draw on later for special favors.<\/p>\n

Sagittarius<\/strong>\u2014Good times and high times need to be put on hold this week as a restriction of cash flow keeps you benched. It doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t be talking to friends, so invite some over for pot-luck.<\/p>\n

Capricorn<\/strong>\u2014Cash flow is tight and investments are iffy. There is not much joy in Mudville this week as swing after swing fails to yield a home run. Dust off your resume but just put on some final touches. Don\u2019t send it off for a few weeks to come.<\/p>\n

Aquarius<\/strong>\u2014If you\u2019ve been tending to business, you\u2019ll feel a sense of satisfaction for what you\u2019ve accomplished while some people sing your praises. If you are looking for a change of venue you could luck on a new opportunity, but you have to be quick to snatch it up.<\/p>\n

Pisces<\/strong>\u2014Women of the bewitchy kind bedevil you. You normally let nasty comments roll off your back, but this time the remarks hits a little to close to home. Talk to your Mom, who can offer a comforting perspective and hopefully some homemade cookies. Yum.<\/p>\n
